ITT: Modern masterpieces
The production is so shit on this. What is the deal?

it's sad and his persona is mysterious and cool and yeah

The hype preceding its release did not help Blonde (2016), overcome the fundamental mediocrity of the lo-fi songs, as if they were merely reworked leftovers. The album can matter only to those who care about his autobiographical lyrics. All in all, the 45-minute video, Endless, that preceded it might be more interesting.
5/10.

So the only people who like this are teens? Makes sense

Scaruffi says channel orange is better ;3;3;3;3
>>75184433
True.
His grand songwriting ambitions permeated Channel Orange (Def Jam, 2012), notably the ten-minute Pyramids. It was the most hyped album of the year, but ultimately Ocean was only capable of pop-soul ballads in a traditional format (barely adjusted to hip-hop productions and attitudes) and their lyrical acumen was mainly in the minds of the critics who liked to hear religious overtones in stories set in the decadent milieu of misfits, losers, nihilists and existential zombies of the heartless Californian metropolis. That said, the songs are clockworks of arrangements, textures, nuances and vocal styles, and represent the state of the art in the soul genre the way that, say, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon represented the state of the art of rock music (its not-so-great artistic value aside). It is difficult to be moved by trite coldly calculated fare like the falsetto agony of Thinkin Bout You or the chamber lied Bad Religion, but one can nonetheless admire how the technicians assembled the products without sounding too nostalgic when they steal from Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Prince.
7/10
Lot of hate for a 10/10 album. What's wrong /mu/?
>>75184678
its not a 10/10 unless you're under 18 and only been in 2 relationships max.
>>75184337
You start, OP.
>>75184687
So being 27 with zero relationships and citating Money Store as a 10/10 is the way to go?
>>75184726
>going for the extreme option
come back when you turn 18 okay!
>>75184770

Calm down, deleted the previous post because of the typos. It seems like listening Frank Ocean could help you to calm your nerves.

nah
>>75184396
this is the kind of review one gives when one does not listen to an album more than once. Why people take his opinion seriously, I will never understand.
